Protective Clothing in
case of spill and leak
Evacuate the area. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Sweep up and place in container for disposal. Avoid raising dust.
Spill and leak
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick up is complete. DO NOT empty into drains. DO NOT touch spilled
material.
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an after burner
Waste disposal
and scrubber. According to all applicable regulations. May be harmful to aquatic life. Can be dangerous if allowed to
enter drinking water intakes. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation water supplies, lakes, streams, ponds, or rivers.
Refrigerate (4掳C). May explode on prolonged storage. Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks, and flame.
Storage and Handling
Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials. Do not add any other material to the container. Do
not wash down the drain. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Keep
container tightly closed and dry. Manipulate under an adequate fume hood. Avoid raising dust. Empty containers may
contain a hazardous residue. Handle and open container with care. Minimize dust generation and exposure - use dust
mask or appropriate protection. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. This product must be manipulated by
qualified personnel. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash well after use. In accordance with good storage and
handling practices. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling. Since the product is unstable, avoid
sudden shocks like dropping or rolling. Do not drop, roll or skid container.
Section IX. Protective Measures
Splash goggles. Impervious gloves, apron, coveralls, and/or other resistant protective clothing. Sufficient to protect skin. If use conditions generate dusts, wear a
Protective clothing
NIOSH-approved respirator appropriate for those emission levels. Appropriate respirators may be a full facepiece or a half mask air-purifying cartridge respirator
with particulate filters, a self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode, or a supplied-air respirator. Do not wear contact lenses. Make eye
bath and emergency shower available. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Use only in a chemical fume hood. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Do not use in unventilated spaces.
Engineering controls
Section X. Other Information
Special Precautions or Dangerously reactive material! Severe irritant! Do not breathe dust. Avoid all contact with
the product. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
